Quantification of Stretching in the Ventricular Wall and Corpus Callosum and Corticospinal Tracts in Hydrocephalus before and after Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Operation

Figure 5

Relationship between the distance from the lateral ventricles and the mean strain level of brain tissue. The picture on the left illustrates the interpolated different-sized ventricles which were used for average strain level calculation at different distances. A decreased strain level was found after the neurosurgical procedure in all of the 6 patients in various degrees.
